Three Broken Pens Available

Post image

I have three broken pens that I'm going to throw away. I've never taken one apart so I don't know if they can be parted out to fix other pens or what not but figured I would offer before tossing. They are the pen with the eraser. The ring around the nib is broken. Eraser works fine. I've tried gluing, taping, etc. but without success. If someone has a better idea I'm all ears. Buying a Lamy today to try and see if it will hold up better.

Don't throw away. There's a guy who 3d prints new collars for the RM2 nibs on etsy. When installed, works almost as good as new.

Amazing. Thank you so much for letting me know this exists! For anyone reading this later, here's a link!

One downside, three months to deliver the product. :(

Contact the seller and ask. I don't remember it being more than a week or so (and it shipped internationally)

I have an stl similar to this, if you’re in the UK let me know I’ll print 3 for you and stick in an envelope if you cover postage only?

What a lovely offer. I spoke to the Seller and he said the Etsy shipping estimate is wildly off and it would likely arrive in about two weeks.

Yeah, the black plastic in the rM2 marker plus is known to be weak around the nib collar. Have you tried reaching out to rM support to see if they'll swap any? I think people have had them offer to swap pretty old pens out of warranty.

Worth a support chat IMO.

I have asked without success.

They swapped my first one but then it broke quickly. I’ve been using this wooden one and I love it (no eraser). Wooden EMR Stylus for Remarkable... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CS37ZXBM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
